In the market for an iPhone? Here's a breakdown of all the currently shipping iPhones from Apple.
Apple's Pandora-Killer Delayed Over Song Licensing Negotiations
Earlier this month, the WSJ reported that Apple was working on a streaming radio service to rival Pandora. Apple was reportedly in licensing negotiations with record labels, but was months away from launching the service.Today, the New York Post reports that negotiations with music publisher Sony/ATV have hit a snag over the fee Apple would pay for each song streamed by its customers.
Apple’s plan to have its own music-streaming service built into the iPhone 5 was dramatically dashed when talks between the tech giant and Sony/ATV hit a last-minute snag, The Post has learned.The Post reports that Apple wants better licensing rates than Pandora because it will direct record sales through the App Store, and Apple's restrictions on playing an artist multiple times would be looser than Pandora's.
Sony/ATV, the world’s largest music publisher, and Apple couldn’t agree on a per-song rights fee, sources close to the situation said.
Those rights are usually tenths of a penny per stream, sources said. Sony/ATV was looking for a higher rate.

The last time we used "-killer" in an article was over a year ago.

I wish ATT offered rollover data instead of minutes....I don't talk on my phone really lol.
I paid for my data, I want to keep it, then maybe I'd be able to actually use my phone to its potential

Humm, Does Apple really need to go after this?
Look what happened to Maps. I really don't want them to foray on everything.
Bring a new kick ass MacPro and hi-end ACDs please......

I think it may be time to look into pursuing other ventures other companies haven't already done pretty damn well. Innovation.
Apple owns the largest music store in the world with iTunes. They can crush the competition if they make something remotely good.
They would be fools not to pursue this.
